Bloat - TechnicalIntro - Bufferbloat. Bufferbloat is the cause of much of the poor performance and human pain experienced using today’s Internet. It can be the cause of a form of congestion collapse of networks, though with slightly different symptoms than that of the 1986 NSFnet collapse. Since discussion of the best terminology for the problem reached no consensus , Jim Gettys invented a term that might best convey the sense of the problem. Bufferbloat1 is the existence of excessively large (bloated) buffers in systems, particularly network communication systems. In a shared network, “bufferbloat” is a phenomenon whereby buffering of packets causes high latency and jitter, as well as reducing the overall network throughput. With TCP/IP, during network congestion bufferbloat causes extra delays, limiting the speed of internet connections.

Other network protocols also appear to be affected, including UDP-based protocols, probably partly because they share buffers with TCP/IP connections. See also¶ Jim Gettys Ramblings.

What is Zfone? Zfone is a new secure VoIP phone software product which lets you make secure encrypted phone calls over the Internet. Zfone is not itself a VoIP client, but lets you make secure calls with your existing VoIP client, by filtering, encrypting and decrypting all your VoIP media packets as they pass in and out of your computer. You can use a variety of different software VoIP clients to make a VoIP call.

It's as if Zfone were a "bump on the wire", sitting between the VoIP client and the Internet. Think of it as a software bump-on-the-wire, or a bump in the protocol stack. There's no online HELP with this release of the Zfone beta software, so study this page carefully for instructions on installing and running it. Step 1: Getting your VoIP client software ready Many things can go wrong with VoIP client software. Step 2 : Downloading and installing Zfone Register to Download Zfone This new 22 Mar 2009 version implements the latest ZRTP Internet Draft protocol document (draft 15).

HD Phones. Abstract Syntax Notation One. Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) is a standard and notation that describes rules and structures for representing, encoding, transmitting, and decoding data in telecommunications and computer networking. The formal rules enable representation of objects that are independent of machine-specific encoding techniques. Formal notation makes it possible to automate the task of validating whether a specific instance of data representation abides by the specifications. In other words, software tools can be used for the validation.[1] ASN.1 is a joint standard of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector ITU-T, originally defined in 1984 as part of CCITT X.409:1984. ASN.1 moved to its own standard, X.208, in 1988 due to wide applicability. The substantially revised 1995 version is covered by the X.680 series.
